Soft Separates

Today's look features a spring-ready work look.
Pants:  The Limited (Available here)
Blouse:  The Limited (Sold out on-line; may be available in stores)
I paired navy trousers with a mint crochet top and ivory herringbone blazer.  
Blazer:  The Limited (old) (Similar here)
I love the softness of the colors of the top and jacket and the crisp contrast with the navy.  Mint is one of my favorite colors and paired with ivory, reminds me of the beach for some reason.
Earrings:  Hand-made
.The crochet and herringbone print add visual interest, but the overall shapes and cuts of this these pieces are very office-appropriate.
Ring:  Purchased at local jewelry show
Tote:  Target (old)

Fun with Geometrics

Hope you all had a great day!

Today, I'm pairing a fun geometric print top with neutral work pieces.  The navy and ivory color palette is a softer take on the classic black and white, but provides the same graphic contrast. 

Blouse:  The Limited (Currently sold out on-line; Available in stores)
Pants:  The Limited (Available here)
Blazer:  The Limited
Heels:  Target (Available here)
I paired the look with gold jewelry and a red clutch for a pop of color.
Clutch: Vintage
Bracelets:  World Market, The Limited
Lately, I've been really into the idea of mixing patterns and textures.  The mix on this look is subtle (herringbone blazer with the printed top), but I'm planning on mixing prints in the same color palette often this spring.  It's a fun way to add visual interest to a look.

Necklace:  The Limited
Earrings:  The Limited

Circles and Lines

Happy Thursday, everyone!

Today, I chose my favorite monochromatic color palette and mixed textures and prints to keep the look interesting.
Coated denim jeans:  Target (Available here)
Blazer:  The Limited (Similar here)
Tank:  The Limited
Satchel:  The Limited (Available here)
Scarf:  The Limited
Earrings:  Express
The herringbone blazer and stripes in the scarf play off of the circles on the scarf and polkadots on the blouse.

The quilted satchel and striped bangle adds more texture and subtle print to the look.
